I remember how fun it was for us to take our girls' to our favorite neighbors and let them see our girls' dressed up as "gift boxes" with pretty bows. It was so innocent! I remember chatting and laughing with our neighbors as we walked our kids around. It was a neighborhood thing and it was good. Our children will face the "real" world soon enough and realize the significance of this evil day. Then as parents it is our responsibility to teach them God's truth of what it means to live in the world but not be a part of the world. Krista,
